Volunteering with us
Requirements:
Volunteers should be kind, empathetic, friendly, interested in people and their stories, non-judgmental and mature. Volunteers need to be reliable, must have patience, common sense and a sense of humour. Good communication skills are required and a very good standard of conversational English, as some of our guests have difficulty with hearing and communicating. Any creative talents are a plus but not necessary. A first aid certificate would be beneficial, however basic training can be provided. A Police background check is required for this role.
Selwyn Centres
We are looking for warm-hearted people to help with morning tea and activities at our Selwyn Centre mornings. If you have a morning free during the week and enjoy making a difference in the lives of elders in our communities we need your help.
Time commitment:
This will vary according to each Selwyn Centre. Most sessions are once a week on weekdays between 9:30am – 12 or 12:30.

Selwyn Village
Our village is always open to having volunteers be part of our community to help with a variety of activities and special events with our residents. This could be helping with a craft activity, newspaper reading or even a general chat.
As a volunteer you will become an integral part of the support that we are able to extend to our residents and clients, fostering wellness and independence and providing care guided by the principles of the Selwyn Way.
Time Commitment:
We have regular activities each week but also have special events where we need help so when filling out the volunteer enquiry form please let us know your availability.
